Tyre pressure sensors - again
Previous owner removed my sensors. Bought new ones £75/each (made by BERU). Have 2 fitted in the rears already but having front wheels refurbed today and the other 2 sensors fitted. Will let you know if they work when I get the wheels back. I have read that the system is auto-configuring and should recognise the sensors and not need any dealer intervention.
when you let us know if they work , can you also let us know where you bought them and if you got new valves etc as well

Hi Phil, I did put this in one of my previous replies:
"You can get them for £75 each + vat plus new valves if the existing valve needs replacing for £12 + vat.
http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/option/tpm_sensors
RDE001 is the correct TPMS sensor
RDV001 is the correct Valve kit"
But, hold fire everyone! Let me make sure they work first / see if anything else is needed. Hopefully I will collect tonight and will post tomorrow sometime.

By the handbrake, press menu, and turn the wheel to 'Set', then go to tyre pressures, then you get a tick beside 'On', and uncheck it.Smiler2833 wrote:Just got an RS6 a couple of weeks ago & comes up with tyre pressure alert in the mornings, how do you turn warning off?
Must be the batteries going or the control unit as one morning it is only the rear left the next morning it's all 4!
I looked through the warranty paperwork briefly last night. The booklet is in plain english and states that various things are covered apart from a few 'obvious exceptions'. One of those exceptions is 'batteries'.
Now, if someone said to me your warranty doesn't cover batteries I would think of the big bulky thing that lives in the boot - not a surprise really. However, I wouldn't expect 'batteries' to include other batteries that are elsewhere, completely inaccessible to Joe public and are required to make a safety feature function properly.
It may be a weak argument, but one I'll stick in a letter to the Warranty company. If there are a few of us with Audi warranties, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a few complaint letters off as they're more likely to sit up and listen that way.
As ever, I'll keep you posted.

PS - also sent nasty letter to audi dealer for waste of time - chances of getting any good will? I have a decent record at stake, managing a timing-belt change, £100 cash and 2 RS6 keyrings out of Hatfield Audi
Mine was in Stirling Audi last week for some other work and I asked them to check the TPMS - I had it turned off as it was intermittently giving me the "orange tyre with an exclamation mark in the centre and a stroke through it" symbol on the dash. They said my right rear sensor was faulty. Contacted Warranty Direct - they said not covered. SA said that'll be £170 please. 
Cool. Don't forget that you'll have to get the car to "learn" the new sensors. Not sure how that works. I have a vague recollection that you have to do something in the menu.

How long have you owned an Audi again?
